Anticipated Tasks:
Anticipated Work Schedule: Field assignment is expected to last between 6 and 8 straight weeks. Survey work is anticipated to run between Monday and Friday each week, with up to 10 hours a day of effort anticipated (roughly 40-50 hours a week). Any hours worked in excess of 8 each day will be paid at an overtime rate (1.5x regular pay). Weekend lodging will be provided, but per diem expenses and employee transportation will not be provided for Saturdays and Sundays.
The start date will be dependent on field conditions and access, which will be determined by the status of the snowpack. The window for fieldwork is from late April to mid-May.
Work Location: Work will be in the Stanislaus National Forest, often well removed from traveled USFS roads, in rugged terrain.
Accommodations:
Local lodging accommodations will be provided in the form of either shared Airbnb or motel rooms. While project work is only anticipated on weekdays (Monday through Friday), lodging will be provided Friday night through Sunday night for each field team member. Airbnb accommodation will consist of private bedrooms for each Field Technician and shared common areas.
Compensation: Hourly wages will be based on qualifications and/or experience. Expected starting pay ranges between $25 to $30 per hour and will be commensurate with the candidate’s relevant experience.
The ideal candidate must be familiar with the principles of archaeological field survey, be competent in the collection of archaeological field data, and should possess good written and verbal communication skills.
Applicants must have a strong work ethic, positive attitude, experience working in a team-oriented environment, and the ability to complete assigned tasks independently.
Familiarity with the range of archaeological site types and cultural resources/material culture commonly found on cultural resource sites within the central Sierra Nevada (e.g., mining, timber operations, homesteading) is a plus.
Interested applicants should provide a detailed resume or curriculum vitae, a cover letter demonstrating your archaeological experience and how you meet this position’s requirements and be prepared to provide a list of no fewer than three references who can speak to your ability to perform the tasks mentioned above.
